Hi everyone, I'm new on here

I weighed myself today at 220lbs...I can't believe I weigh this much!

I weighed 170 lbs before I had my son, and only gained 23 lbs during pregnancy (193)

I lost 15 lbs the month following his birth, but over the past 20 months I have put on almost 40 lbs!!!

Starting a new year, I am determined to lose the weight. I want to have another baby, but don't want to go into a pregnancy this heavy....wish me luck!

Good luck on the ttc and the weight loss!

I was in the same boat as you. I have 4 children, and after each kid I lost the weight really fast, BUT gained it all back and sometimes then some, before getting pregnant again.

At my highest NON pregnancy weight (actually it was my highest all around :| )I was 222. I managed to lose 25 lbs before getting pregnant with my 4th, gained 24 lbs, and now I am down to 185.8 Still a LONG ways to go, especially since I am only 5'1", but Its coming off nicely
